choosing a mod of the year will take a year in itself! the number of mods of dogs-danglie-proportions has just gone through the roof!

Regardless of all the mods this year which have been utterly fantastic I have to say The Battlestar Galactica mod by Boddaker has been my favourite by far. He takes it to another level but in a way that is achievable to nearly everyone. Amazing skills.

I'll second that. He uses materials that are pretty much readily available to the "Average Joe" and goes to town.

Absolutely not, Cheapskate But the mod DOES have to be complete and featured. *hint*

Cool, you have a better modding competition than Intel. Better prices and open for everyone, even the ones who use AMD processors... Awesome.

How long did you spend arranging those boxes just so we couldn't see the actual labels on most of them?

Edit: I spy with my little eye an 8800GTS

Wow guys, thanks for the props I really appreciate it!
But as Da Dego said, the mods have to be complete in order to be a contender for MotY. So maybe next year for me!

I'm looking forward to seeing the 12 chosen for this year though. It will be a really tough decision as there were quite a few amazing works.

You've outdone yourself again bit-tech. I hope I can snag me some prizes as a voter.

I was about to ask about the worldwide contest part, but Da Dego answered that for me.
